Poles battle Krakow riot police
WARSAW, Poland ( UPI) Riot police in Kra-kow
battled into the night Thursday with Solidari-ty
supporters seeking to avenge the police killing
of a colleague a day earlier, witnesses said.
It was the fourth day of protests in a Polish city
since Monday, when shipyard workers struck in
Gdansk, the birthplace of the trade union, and be-gan
a series of protests to try to restore the out-lawed
union and free Lech Walesa.
It also was the first fatality reported in demon-strations
since four Solidarity supporters were
killed Aug. 31 in clashes marking the second anni-versary
of Solidarity.
The official PAP news agency said Bogdan Wlo- si- k,
20, was shot during a street protest Wednes-day
by a plainclothes police officer who was " bru-tally
thrown to the ground."
PAP said the officer " in the defense of his life"
first Bred a warning shot, then a second which
struck Wlosik. He was taken to a hospital and died
on the operating table Thursday, PAP said.
" We will avenge you," shouted a small group of
youths who marched to the police station when
news of the death spread through Nowa Huta, an
industrial suburb of Krakow where the huge Lenin
steel mill is located.
One witness said a crowd erected a symbolic
tomb where the youth was slain, placed flowers
over the spot and held an officially sanctioned me-morial
service in the street.
The witness, however, said fighting with police
erupted afterward and continued past 9: 30 p. m.,
more than three hours later.
Bands of youths taunted police, who drove up
and down the streets, the witness said. The dem-onstrators
" are shouting unprintable, four- lett- er
words," the witness added.
Riot police, who had battled, demonstrators
Wednesday until past midnight, fired tear gas,
flares and concussion grenades, the witness said.
There were no immediate reports of casualties
or arrests from the latest violence, but PAP said
67 police were wounded and " scores" of police ve-hicles
were damaged Wednesday by flying rocks,
gasoline bombs, screws and ball bearings.
The news agency said 21 police were hospital-ized,
two in serious condition. Some 27 civilians
were hurt, eight requiring hospitalization.
" The military prosecutor investigating the case
has established that the militia functionary
opened fire when faced with a threat to his life."
PAP said.
Church sources said military authorities fired
500 of the 15,000 workers at the giant Lenin ship--
yard in Gdansk in reprisal for strikes and riots de-manding
the reinstatement of Solidarity and the
release of jailed union leader Lech Walesa.
" Some people have been fired, fired from the
jobs they love." the Rev. Henryk Jankowski,
priest to " jailed Solidarity union chief Lech Wale-sa,
told a congregation of 2,000 at a special mass
Wednesday.
Sources close to Jankowski said the priest had
been summoned to the local prosecutor's office
and reprimanded for sermons that allegedly had
been " instigating" political speeches.
Authorities declared the shipyards a military
facility Tuesday after two days of strikes and
street clashes. Workers returned to their jobs
Wednesday under threat of jail and dismissal.
In another development, the leader of a Polish
government delegation said in Rome shortly be-fore
leaving for Warsaw that he discussed the sit-uation
of the Roman Catholic church in Poland
with prominent Vatican officials.
" We discussed the situation in Poland and in
particular relations between the church and
state." said Jerzy Ozdowsky. vice president of the
Polish parliament.
Ozdowsky described the meetings as " fairly im-portant."
Mid- Misso- uri would get 1,700 acres
of wildlife areas under federal plan
By Bill Kates Jr.
Missourian stall writer
JEFFERSON CITY Mid- Misso- uri
could gain as much as 1,700
acres of fish and wildlife areas un-der
a plan being developed by the
US. Army Corps of Engineers.
The corps is looking at a dozen
sites along the Missouri River in
Boone County and neighboring Cole,
Cooper, Howard and Moniteau coun-ties
to set aside as a wildlife area.
The plan is an attempt to offset the
loss of fish and game that has come
from development along the river
and its adjacent lands.
The sites are part of a larger plan
that encompasses four states and
would cost the federal government
an estimated $ 47.2 million.
Mike Bornowski of the corps' Kan-sas
City office said it would be about
seven or eight years before Congress
approves the plan, authorizes the
project and appropriates money for
it. Once it passes out of the political
process, it would take a year or two
to complete the engineering and con-struction,
he said.
The plan consists of preserving
and restoring 3,200 acres of aquatic
areas and developing and managing
44,900 acres of forest lands.
To implement the plan it will be
necessary to acquire 1,900 acres of
aquatic habitat and 28,000 acres of
forest, Bornowski said. Only a small
amount of construction would be in-volved,
mostly access roads,
bridges, parking lots and sanitary
facilities.
" This is a very needed and timely
opportunity," said Bill Dieffenbach
of the Missouri Department of Con-servation.
" Sixty percent of the
state's population lives in counties
along the river. This will touch a lot
of people and give them a chance to
enjoy, observe and hunt some of the
local critters."
The state already has set aside 22,- 8- 92
acres along 553" miles of the river
as wildlife areas. Dieffenbach said.
Much of this acreage, however, is
concentrated in an area just west of
St. Louis the 7,000- acr- e August A.
Busch Wildlife Area and the 7,200- ac- re
Weldon Spring Wildlife Area.
Central Missouri has a shortage of
wildlife . areas that the.. corps' plan
would improve. Dieffenbach said.
The 1,700 acres, all of which would
be associated with aquatic areas ex-cept
for about 175 acres of forest
land, would be the maximum acre-age.
Bornowski would not identify the
12 locations in the five- coun- ty area
that are under consideration.
" Things can change. We don't want
to get people excited," he said.
The plans are far from final and
could be altered before completion.
Before it reaches Congress, the
plan first must be reviewed by the
governors of the states involved, and
then approved by the secretary of
the Army and theU. S. Office of Man-agement"
and Budget.
The corps has undertaken the plan
with a " very active" participatory
role by the states. " We feel we have
to be involved." Dieffenbach said.
" The resources belong to the state
and we are charged with their custo-dy.
We feel we know more about the
resources than they do."
The corps wants to reverse the in-creasing
loss in fish and wildlife that
has resulted from the residential and
commercial development of land
along the river and to counter the ef-fects
of the Missouri River Bank Sta-bilization
and Navigation Project.
The 70- year-- old river project, which
extends from Sioux City, Iowa, to St.
Louis, involved the construction of
flood control dams and levees and
structures that control the river's
course and flow.
Corps officials said the plan being
pursued would preserve enough
aquatic habitat to support 70.000
pounds of fish.
Several alternative plans were
proposed to the corps, but were re-jected.
They ranged in cost from S1.3
billion to S17.6 million. The most
comprehensive plan involved ac-quiring
and developing 190,313 acres

River in five counties.
while the most basic option called
for the development of 18.500 acres
with no acquisitions.
Bornowski said corps officials
were concerned with the adverse
economic and social impact of the
comprehensive plan, particularly
the loss of land tax revenue. He said
the basic plan did not provide ad-equate
benefits for wildlife.
Land will be acquired on a " will-ing
seller" basis. Bornowski said.
Fiscal pinch squeezes mental health unit
By Lenny Hermann
Missourian staff writer
When it comes time for budget
cuts, " kids get it in the neck," says '
Dr. Joel Ray.
He is the director of the Mid- Missou- ri
Mental Health Center Child
Development Unit a care unit
again being asked by the state to
walk the budget plank.
It is uncertain whether positions
within the unit's multi- therap- y serv-ice
for pre- scbo- ol children will be
lost, but tbey are in danger. The De-partment
of Mental Health has in-cluded
the unit's multi- therap- y serv-ice,
or intensive unit, on a list of
proposed program cutbacks, al-though
the final form of the cuts
won't be decided until the Missouri
Mental Health Commission meets
Saturday in St. Louis.
The unit's diagnostic operation
and out- patie- nt services, however,
will be retained.
Because the cuts are tentative, the
administration at Mid- M- o is tight- lippe- d,
preferring not to comment
until given the commission's deci-sion.
The intensive unit, the only one of
its kind in the state, serves pre-school
children with severe emotion-al,
social and behavioral problems.
Ten to 12 students from the Colum-bia
area, and from as far away as
Moberly, now attend the program.
In addition to the child devel-opment
program, Mid- Mo- ' s out
reach offices in Boone and Howard
counties are scheduled to be cut.
This is not the first time the child
development program has been
slated for cutbacks. Created with the
help of federal funds, the unit has re-peatedly
battled for state funding
since its federal staffing grant ended
in the late 1970s, Ray said.
" Since Fve been here, we've had a
long history of fighting various kinds
of cuts," he said.
Though he's carrying out his ad-ministrative
duties. Ray is not
pleased with his assignment. " I
think a lot of children will suffer. But
there's also the very harsh reality of
there being no money.
Joseph Cooper, research assistant
at the Missouri Prevention Network,
thinks Ray has neglected to match
his proposed staff cuts with the kinds
of referrals made to the Mid- M- o pro-gram.
Many of the children have se-vere
language disorders. Cooper
said, but Ray is eliminating a speech
pathologist.
" It seems to me the director has
not made any attempt to match the
referrals to the positions being cut."
Cooper said. His Missouri Preven-tion
Network is a statewide non- pro- fit
organization that advocates pre-ventive
efforts in child welfare.
In response. Ray said that with the
elimination of the day care program,
or " the multi- therap- y service." as
he calls it. there would be less de-mand
for speech therapy.

The television cameras and

with a white collar seated at a wood-en
table in the high- ceiling- ed room
of the Congressional Steel Caucus.
He is the Rev. William T. Hogan, di-rector
of the Industrial Economics
Research Institute at Fordham Uni-versity.
He is explaining deprecia-tion
aspects of the tax laws and their
effects on the steel industry to Sen.
John Heinz, R- P- a.
Shift to an even higher- ceilinge- d
room. This time the Joint Economic
Committee is in session. Down from
Harvard is Otto Eckstenvwith his
latest " macroeconomic model"
showing what the economy should be '
doing for the next year. On another
day, James TobJn from Yale is ex-pounding
on the risk premium in in-terest
rates.
At the Senate Banking Committee,
DK3DE3U
Allan EL Meltzer from the Carnegie
Mellon Institute in Pittsburgh is
holding forth on the inflationary con-sequences
of excessive money sup-ply
growth. " The Senate Finance
Committee, examining the
relationship between a trade bill and
the General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade, calls on John Jackson of
the University of Michigan Law
School, Robert Hudec of the Univer-sity
of Minnesota Law School and
Robert Baldwin, economics profes-sor
at the University of Wisconsin.
" Every committee has its short
list of experts," said William A. Re- insc- h,
the chief legislative assistant
to Heinz, one of the principal players
in the steel caucus. " In steel, Father
Hogan. is on just about everyone's
shortlist,"
Added David B. Rohr, staff direc-tor
of the Bouse trade subcommit-tee:
" We bring in the experts to get
some technical information and
hopefully to take some advice. Thev
come to educate the committee
members."
Robert C Weintraub, senior econ-omist
on the Joint Economic Com-mittee,
said that " over the years it
hasn't been uncommon for some
committees to stack the deck."
He was alluding to the practice of
picking the academic expert whose
point view most closely meshes with
that of the committee chairman or
the staff director to testify.
" In the late 1960s and early 1970s,"
Weintraub recalled, " the JEC called
on only the most seasoned liberals
from the Brookings- Harvard- Yal- e
axis." This panel at least has now
ended the practice, he reports, not-ing
that " whenever it's my responsi-bility,
I toy to get a variety of main-stream
views."
Although tbey can't make any
money from the transportation al-lowance
and $ 75 a day, and although
it takes time out from teaching and
writing, tiie experts seldom turn
down an invitation to testify. '' They
do it pro bono publico," Reinscb
said, " but it cant hurt them. It only
enhances their reputation."
Most, like Hogan, already have
considerable reputations. Ordained

economics at Fordham, be is the au-thor

Successful cloning of fruit fly
opens door to new genetic age
WASHINGTON ( UPI) Two Car-negie
Institution scientists Thursday
reported the first kiown successful
insertion of a cloned gene into the he-reditary
material of a complex orga-nism.
Although the researchers accom-plished
the genetic engineering feat
in a fruit fly, the development raised
the possibility the technique some-day
might be used to make benefi-cial
changes in plants and farm ani-mals
and eventually even
humans.
But Dr. Allan Spradling of the Car-negie
Institution of Washington, one
of the two scientists who conducted
the experiment, said the more im-mediate
implications of the devel-opment
are that it opens the door to
the study of how genes are regulated
and how they work in complex ani-mals.
That is fundamental information,
and could lay the groundwork for
medical applications that today re-main
only in the realm of specu-lation.
The work, which was reported in
two articles in Science magazine,
takes biology one step beyond the
gene transplant technology devel-oped
during the last decade. It is
that technology, known as recombi
nant DNA. which enabled Spradling
and Dr. Gerald Rubin to use bacte-ria
to reproduce the fruit fly gene
used in the experiments.
Although gene transfer had been
accomplished before in simple orga-nisms
such as bacteria and yeast,
getting a cloned gene into the chro-mosomes
of more complex orga-nisms
such as a fly and making
the gene work was a more diffi-cult
task.
What made the gene transfer work
in the Drosophila fruit fly was the
use of movable segments, known as
transposable elements, of hereditary
material that occur naturallv in the
fly.
Spradling and Rubin used the gene
transplant technology to construct
one of these elements containing a
gene responsible for producing the
rosy color of the fly's eyes.
They then injected the element
and gene into the embryos of flies in
which mutations normally produced
brown eyes.
Most of the embryos died of dam-age
from the injection and most of
the surviving offspring had brown
eyes. But a few had the red eyes that
could only have been produced by
the transplantedgene.

Shift to an even higher- ceilinge- d
room. This time the Joint Economic
Committee is in session. Down from
Harvard is Otto Eckstenvwith his
latest " macroeconomic model"
showing what the economy should be '
doing for the next year. On another
day, James TobJn from Yale is ex-pounding
on the risk premium in in-terest
rates.
At the Senate Banking Committee,

Allan EL Meltzer from the Carnegie
Mellon Institute in Pittsburgh is
holding forth on the inflationary con-sequences
of excessive money sup-ply
growth. " The Senate Finance
Committee, examining the
relationship between a trade bill and
the General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade, calls on John Jackson of
the University of Michigan Law
School, Robert Hudec of the Univer-sity
of Minnesota Law School and
Robert Baldwin, economics profes-sor
at the University of Wisconsin.
" Every committee has its short
list of experts," said William A. Re- insc- h,
the chief legislative assistant
to Heinz, one of the principal players
in the steel caucus. " In steel, Father
Hogan. is on just about everyone's
shortlist,"
Added David B. Rohr, staff direc-tor
of the Bouse trade subcommit-tee:
" We bring in the experts to get
some technical information and
hopefully to take some advice. Thev
come to educate the committee
members."
Robert C Weintraub, senior econ-omist
on the Joint Economic Com-mittee,
said that " over the years it
hasn't been uncommon for some
committees to stack the deck."
He was alluding to the practice of
picking the academic expert whose
point view most closely meshes with
that of the committee chairman or
the staff director to testify.
" In the late 1960s and early 1970s,"
Weintraub recalled, " the JEC called
on only the most seasoned liberals
from the Brookings- Harvard- Yal- e
axis." This panel at least has now
ended the practice, he reports, not-ing
that " whenever it's my responsi-bility,
I toy to get a variety of main-stream
views."
Although tbey can't make any
money from the transportation al-lowance
and $ 75 a day, and although
it takes time out from teaching and
writing, tiie experts seldom turn
down an invitation to testify. '' They
do it pro bono publico," Reinscb
said, " but it cant hurt them. It only
enhances their reputation."
Most, like Hogan, already have
considerable reputations. Ordained
a Jesuit priest in 1954, five years af-ter
taking his doctorate in industrial
economics at Fordham, be is the au-thor
of five books on the steel indus-try
including the five- volu- me " Eco-nomic

Successful cloning of fruit fly
opens door to new genetic age
WASHINGTON ( UPI) Two Car-negie
Institution scientists Thursday
reported the first kiown successful
insertion of a cloned gene into the he-reditary
material of a complex orga-nism.
Although the researchers accom-plished
the genetic engineering feat
in a fruit fly, the development raised
the possibility the technique some-day
might be used to make benefi-cial
changes in plants and farm ani-mals
and eventually even
humans.
But Dr. Allan Spradling of the Car-negie
Institution of Washington, one
of the two scientists who conducted
the experiment, said the more im-mediate
implications of the devel-opment
are that it opens the door to
the study of how genes are regulated
and how they work in complex ani-mals.
That is fundamental information,
and could lay the groundwork for
medical applications that today re-main
only in the realm of specu-lation.
The work, which was reported in
two articles in Science magazine,
takes biology one step beyond the
gene transplant technology devel-oped
during the last decade. It is
that technology, known as recombi
nant DNA. which enabled Spradling
and Dr. Gerald Rubin to use bacte-ria
to reproduce the fruit fly gene
used in the experiments.
Although gene transfer had been
accomplished before in simple orga-nisms
such as bacteria and yeast,
getting a cloned gene into the chro-mosomes
of more complex orga-nisms
such as a fly and making
the gene work was a more diffi-cult
task.
What made the gene transfer work
in the Drosophila fruit fly was the
use of movable segments, known as
transposable elements, of hereditary
material that occur naturallv in the
fly.
Spradling and Rubin used the gene
transplant technology to construct
one of these elements containing a
gene responsible for producing the
rosy color of the fly's eyes.
They then injected the element
and gene into the embryos of flies in
which mutations normally produced
brown eyes.
Most of the embryos died of dam-age
from the injection and most of
the surviving offspring had brown
eyes. But a few had the red eyes that
could only have been produced by
the transplantedgene.
